Riot Security · Paris, France · Full-time · Posted 2026-07-15
Workplace: on_site
Department: Sales
We want to instill cybersecurity good practices to employees in a way that's actually effective, and entertaining enough so that employees don't feel like they're working. Think Duolingo but for cybersecurity.
We created a platform to easily rollout a cybersecurity awareness program: the platform sends chat-based 4-minutes long courses to teams. Following the courses, the other side of the platform simulates phishing attacks, to prepare employees to face hackers, but in a safe environment.
Created in 2020, Riot has raised $45m with leading investors (Y Combinator, Left Lane, Base10, Funders Club and First Capital) and is now protecting more than 2,000,000 employees in over 2,000 companies (including Intercom, Deel, and Deezer) all over the world.
Cybersecurity is everywhere. It's impacting everyone, everyday, and it's becoming the number one risk to any organization, whether it's a small business or a big firm. Yet, the cybersecurity culture in most companies is a disaster. Hackers are leveraging this by targeting the weakest link: the employees. We're on a mission to fix that.
Most cybersecurity companies ignore small businesses. Too small, too fragmented, too hard to reach at scale. We think that's the wrong bet and a massive opportunity.
The SMB market (companies under 200 employees) is one of Riot's biggest growth levers. Cyber attacks are increasingly targeting smaller companies, and incoming regulations will soon force thousands of them to act. What doesn't exist yet is a scalable way to reach them. That's exactly what this role is about.
What you build will not only drive growth in France but will also serve as a blueprint for international expansion and other segments such as Mid-Market and Enterprise.
As our first Head of Small Business, you will build Riot's SMB acquisition engine from the ground up: defining strategy, picking channels, running experiments, and shipping systems that work.
What you build in France will become the blueprint for how Riot grows internationally and across segments. Reporting directly to our CEO and cofounder, this is a 0 > 1 role with company-level impact.
You demonstrate a high level of autonomy and ownership
You don't need to be an expert on cybersecurity, but you need to be motivated by the mission
At RIOT, we believe that diversity drives innovation and inclusion fosters belonging. We are committed to building a team that reflects a wide range of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. We welcome candidates from all walks of life and are dedicated to creating an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.
Please note that this is an on-site position with up to 2 days per month of remote work.

All-in-one data and operations security platform.
Riot Security provides an all-in-one security platform designed to protect a company’s data and operations. It combines technical safeguards with an employee-focused education program, recognizing that people are a key part of security. The platform is easy to use and is deployed by over 400 companies, backed by a 97% employee approval rating, which suggests strong user engagement in security practices. The main differentiator is its emphasis on employee engagement and satisfaction, actively involving staff in the security process rather than treating security as purely IT controls. The goal is to help organizations keep data and systems secure by combining effective protections with high participation from employees.
